Carly Rae Jepsen covers The Little Mermaid

"Part of Your World," to be specific

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the meteoric rise of pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen was that she wasn’t churned out by the Disney machine that created fellow chart toppers Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus. But, thanks to an upcoming release of Little Mermaid covers, the “Call Me Maybe” singer has officially surrendered into the warm embrace of Mickey Mouse’s gloved hands.

Witness the union for yourself below as the Mission, B.C.-born, former Canadian Idol participant does a fittingly saccharine cover of the classic film’s signature tune, “Part of Your World” — complete with mermaid-turned-human Ariel’s intro monologue.

The original song was written by Howard Ashman, with music by Alan Menken, and performed by Jodi Benson. To see the Ashman’s coaching notes to Benson, the original Ariel, check out the video below. Compare it to Jepsen’s performance and let us know: How did she do?

The “Diamond Edition” of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” will be available October 1, 2013.
